Our new results confirm the results of [1]} that the lightcurve of an equatorial observer of a bipolar CCSN might have a rapid, and even an abrupt, drop. [1]} used a bipolar toy model. We here calculated the lightcurves from bipolar explosions that we built with 3D hydrodynamical simulations that we base on a CEE scenario. In that respect our calculation are more realistic. However, since we did not include radiative transfer we had to assume a uniform and constant opacity in equation (REF ), a minimum temperature \(T_{\rm H,c}\)  (equation REF ) from the hydrodynamical simulations for a photosphere area element to be included in the effective projected area \(A_{\rm ef,ph}\) , and a photospheric temperature \(T_{\rm ef,ph}\)  in the calculation of the luminosity (equation REF ).
All the values that we assume are within a very reasonable range of possible parameters of CCSNe. Due to numerical limitations we could not follow in details the inner regions of the ejecta, and for that our lightcurves at late times is not accurate.
